Great movie for teenagers. I was comfortable with my 14 year old watching it. There is some violence and some sexual situations, but they were in context.

This is an incredible movie with a touching story and incredible friendships. Theres a good amount of language, some mature topics, and violence in a few scenes. Every kid 15 and up has to see this movie!

An excellent movie - in my top 5 list!
This movie made me laugh and it made me cry, This is probably my 2nd or 3rd favorite movie ranked in my top 5 list. The movie is based in a prison, where violence, sexual references and profanity are part of the daily life. The story line is excellent with great performances from Tim Robbins and Morgan Freeman especially. I have watched this movie over 20 times and still enjoy it every time I see it just as much as the first time.

Amazing movie, one of my three favorites! I could watch it 100 times and it would never get old. Though there is a couple of scenes with violence and sexual dialogue. Language throuought. You see a man commit suicide by hanging himself and many people get beaten very badly. But you notice how bad a jail is and to never do anything that would cause you to have to go to one. Amazing movie about friendship.
